I always looking for great ways to control over my AdSense advertisements so that it only display more relevant ads for my site users and increase my earnings with genuine impressions and valid clicks. Google Publisher Toolbar is one the best way to control over the live AdSense Ads instantly while browsing your own site.
Firstly, I was totally confused with its name “Toolbar” because after successful installation, a small icon is added to the top right of my Chrome browser next to address bar and there was no toolbar there. However, when I click on that icon and enable Google AdSense I was surprised to see my lifetime earnings from AdSense program in a pop-up along with top performing ad units and sites.
Additionally, you will also be able to see your estimated revenue from AdSense for Today so far (current day), Yesterday (previous day), this Month (current month) and last Month i.e. the previous month.
On that account overlay pop-up, the top 5 custom channels or URL channels (Domains) will be displayed in descending order of revenue. You may change the date range (today, yesterday, 7 days, this month, and last month) by using the drop-downs. Therefore, I strongly recommend all of you who makes money online using AdSense to install this toolbar.

Why and How to block unwanted AdSense Ads using Publisher Toolbar
Suppose your site is mainly useful for students and contents are related to study. But, an ad banner of a company (AdWords advertiser) which mainly deals in shoes appears on your educational site. In my opinion it is not relevant ad for an educational blog/site.
To block that unwanted ad, you have to leave your site and sign in to your AdSense account. That means you have to investigate which ad or URL to block under ad review section of Allow & Block ad tab menu.
But, with the help of Google Publisher Toolbar, if you notice that an ad appears on your site which is not relevant for your website contents or users then you may take immediate action to either block that particular ad or ads from specific URL or Google certified ad network as a whole.
Accordingly, follow these simple steps to block unwanted/irrelevant ads while you are browsing your site.
Step-1: Visit your site in Chrome browser.
Step-2: Open Ad Details window by a single click on any particular in-site ad overlay which displays unsuitable ads for your users and you want to block it. The best part is that clicking on the ad overlay generated by this publisher toolbar won’t create invalid clicks.

Step-3: After clicking on any ad overlay on your site, you will see various data on the opened ad details pop-up window related to that particular ad unit viz. Ad size, Ad requests, coverage, RPM, Clicks, buyer name, targeting type, Ad format, display URL and destination URL etc.
Under the ad preview, click the drop-down (Block this ad) and you will have three options to block that advertisement. Select any option to either Block ads for www.example.com or Block this ad or Block ads from Example Ad Network.
Step-4: Thereafter, click the Block button and once the block has been activated, the ad displays a red Blocked banner.
Remember one thing that blocking any ad will remove that advertiser from auction. That means it will reduce completion for appearing on your site in that ad space. As a result of which your AdSense earnings may be affected.
On the other hand, if you fill that particular ad is not family-safe or is inappropriate then you may also report that from the Ad details window. Just click the Report a problem with this ad drop-down and select the issue that you want to report. You may write any additional comment (if any) and thereafter click on Send to Google support.
